A rosette
This drawing has been used for an exhibit of Simmetria, giochi di specchi - Symmetry, playing with mirrors, in which visitors are asked to find out the symmetry axes of given drawings like this one. In this case, there are two symmetry axes (so, it is a rosette with dihedral symmetry of type D2) if we ignore the colouring; there are no symmetry axes if we consider also the colours.
